After Using A Steroid Nose Spray, How Long Should You Wait Before Applying Moisture Spray?
This may sound like a daft question but the answer is likely based on common sense to which I have very little.
I use steroids for my nose/allergies regularly. I also use saline nasal rinse and moisturising spray.
How long after using the nasal steroid am I ok to use saline rinse/moisture spray?
For example if I use the nasal steroid and the rinse 10 mins after the steroid likely won't have had time to be ingested. However if I wait an hour will this be long enough not to wash the steroid away?
(ps yes I have thought of using the rinse first and I do but I also use it frequently through the day)

According to my doctor, the steroid nasal spray should only be used once or twice a day. As for the rinse, I use that a few times each day. I have no idea how long you should leave the rinsing after the spray unfortunately but I read this...If you use a nasal steroid spray to treat your allergies, doctors suggest you first use a saline spray to cleanse the nose and rid it of thick mucus and debris. Thick mucus can keep the steroid from working as well as possible
